I ran a mock portfolio from Dec 29, 2012 – Dec 29, 2015 where I annualized 44% making for a collective rate of return of 434% since inception, compared to the return of a mere 48% of the S&P500 during the same period. Much of my success is due to a few stocks which outperformed the market but not an insignificant amount, one of these stocks being Netflix. This holding was a “10-bagger” in my portfolio. The reason why I chose to invest in Netflix is that I look at what the future holds in store and invest accordingly through this innovative lens. I now manage real money, though due to my concentrated positions as well as using leverage, I could not pawn off my current holdings as a diversified portfolio.
